Nelumbo Nucifera

Lake of purity, beauty, majesty, grace, fertility, wealth, richness, knowledge and serenity. The Lake of the Lotus. A sacred flower for Hindus and Buddhists, and the Pink Lotus, the National Flower of India. The one end of this lake is filled with thousands of beautiful lotus flowers.
